Abstract

This study aims to analyze the contribution of environmental education to the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC) in preventing socio-economic impacts flooding in the Minguene area. The methodology used was the method qualitative study, which made it possible to seek the methodologies used by INGC and prevention of floods and seek the perception of residents in relation to the socio-environmental impacts of floods. As data collection tools interview, systematic observation and document analysis were used. To that end, 30 residents were interviewed, a Disaster Prevention representative, a representative of the Disaster Risk Management Committee and a representative of the Circle Committee. The results of the research show that the preventive measures of the floods adopted by INGC are limited to non-structural education actions applying transmission and participatory methodologies, and based on their experience the residents realize that floods have adverse socio-environmental impacts. Thus, the study concludes that INGC's environmental education actions are not carried out feel in the Minguene area, and residents are exposed in areas susceptible to floods due to the lack of conditions and facilities for the acquisition of plots. Therefore, the study recommends INGC to elaborate an AE Program or Plan for the prevention flooding in the Minguene area, and recommends residents not to expose themselves to areas susceptible to flooding as a reason for the lack of conditions.
